Unchanging Word Bible Podcast

Welcome once again to the Unchanging Word Bible study. We are continuing our studies in the books of 1st and 2nd Thessalonians.

Dr.Mitchell reviews the historical background of who, and how the Thessalonian church first began. The who was the Apostle Paul, the how was his reasoning from the Scriptures in the Jewish synagogue.

So, Dr. Mitchell takes a look at the message that Paul brought to them. His message centers around the prophesied Messiah found in several O.T. passages.

The Deity of the Messiah is found in Ps.45. His birth in Isa. 7:14 and 9:6. Psalms 22, and 69, Isa 50-53 speak of the death of the Messiah. Psalm 16 speaks of the resurrection of the Messiah. His ascension is found in Psalm 68 and His reigning on the throne of grace is found in Psalm 45 and His coming again in Zech. 12-14.

Here is ample evidence that this Jesus is indeed the promised Messiah.

Here is Dr. Mitchell in Acts 17.

We at the Unchanging Word want to thank you, our listeners, for your prayer on our behalf. Pray and thank God for His continuing grace and truth to us for presenting these Bible studies. Your prayer on our behalf is vital for the presentation of these Gospel messages.

The Unchanging Word Bible study now begins a series in the New Testament books of 1st and 2nd Thessalonians.

In this program, Dr. Mitchell begins a background overview of the church in Thessalonica. He will be reading from the book of Acts chapter 17.

Here we find Paul reasoning from the Old Testament Scriptures concerning the Messiah that this Jesus is the Messiah that the Scriptures prophesied.

This points to the necessity of our teaching and doctrine being rooted in the Scriptures, the Word of God centered on Jesus Christ.

Here is Dr. Mitchell, Acts 17.

Welcome once again to this special presentation with our guest speaker, Professor David Needham. In this, our concluding study, he will be continuing our study in Isaiah chapters 6 and into chapter 7.

In this lesson we see how the Lord speaks of both judgment and hope for the nation of Israel concerning which Isaiah asks "How Long?" The Lord then tells him.

From here Professor Needham points our hearts to the hope and assurance found here in the prophecy of the virgin birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Let's turn in our Bible to Isaiah chapter 6:11 to begin our study on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

Welcome once again to this special presentation with our guest speaker, Professor David Needham. He will be continuing our study in Isaiah 6:4.

Previously we heard about Isaiah as to what he heard and what he saw in verses 1 thru 3.

In this lesson we will hear about what Isaiah was feeling and what he was smelling.

It is at this point Isaiah realizes his own personal sin and the sin of the people among whom he lived.

It is here that Professor Needham points our hearts to the overwhelming forgiveness of sin available and found in the shed blood of our Lord Jesus Christ at the cross.

Let's turn in our Bible to Isaiah chapter 6:4 here on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

Welcome to the Unchanging Word Bible broadcast.

For the next few days, the Unchanging Word has as Our guest speaker, Professor David Needham was a co-worker with Dr. Mitchell at the Bible school in which they taught which was founded by Dr. John G. Mitchell.

Mr. Needham was a longtime professor of Bible with an emphasis on Old Testament prophets. Yours truly had the opportunity to attend, along with several other students, various of his classes. They were engaging and inspirational and instructive.

On this program, Professor Needham will be exploring Isaiah chapter 6 verses 1-3. We will look at who Isaiah saw and what he heard.

So open your Bible to Isaiah chapter 6 verse 1 to begin our study with Professor Needham.

Our last study in the book of Colossians begins in chapter 4 verse 7. Dr. Mitchell will be covering the last 12 verses of this chapter giving comments concerning 9 men working along side the apostle Paul in prison in Rome.

Two of the men with Paul were members of this Colossian church. Onesimus was a slave of a friend of Paul's, who name was Philemon, and the other, Epaphras, a prayer warrior for this church.

Dr. Mitchell notes that the apostle Paul had something good to say about all these men, except for one. He explains why.

Here, on the Unchanging Word Bible broadcast, is Dr. Mitchell Col.4:7.

Dr. Mitchell once again reiterates the need for

continuing in prayer for the ministry. We are in Colossians chapter 4 verses 3 thru 6. He gives us an example of a military chaplain in Korea, who had a burden for prisoners of war. He presents proof of God's answer to prayer in a big way. A miracle of grace.

In verse 12, Dr. Mitchell shares the example of Epaphras who also was a prayer warrior.

He next takes up the importance of walking in wisdom towards those who do not know yet know Christ as savior. He speaks of our conduct in the world. We can witness for Christ as opportunities present themselves.

The love of God should be on our lips as we speak with people about our savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible broadcast, Colossians 4:3.

We are in Colossians chapter 4 beginning at verse 2 where the Apostle Paul encourages believers to continue in prayer.

Dr. Mitchell gives us in depth teaching on prayer. It concerns praying for those who give out the Word of God. This is very much needed in these days in which we live.

Could I ask you to pray for your radio station and the podcast hosts on which you hear the Unchanging Word Bible broadcast?

Christians radio stations especially need your prayer as those who broadcast the Bible and Bible teaching to men, women and children everywhere.

There is often behind the scenes influences, both legal and professional, which affect the Christian broadcaster and podcaster.

Would you please pray and support the station or stations which broadcast the Word of God in your area?

Here is Dr. Mitchell with Col.4:2-4 on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

Our study with Dr. Mitchell continues in Colossians chapter 3 verses 22 thru chapter 4 verse 2.

He will be covering business relationships, Christian servants and masters as when Paul wrote these verses, and today translates to employees and employers within a business environment.

He will conclude with Paul's exhortation to continue steadfastly in prayer being watchful in it with thanksgiving.

Do you work with a christian employer or employee?

The verses here in Col.3:22 are also echoed in Ephesians chapter 6 by the apostle Paul.

He wrote these two letters together while in prison in Rome. He also wrote similar words in 1 Timothy chapter 6 verses 1 and 2 specifically to christian employees.

You'll note that both the Lord Jesus and the apostle Paul worked with their hands in gainful employment as did Dr. Mitchell as a new Christian.

Here is Dr. Mitchell, Col. 3:22 on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

Dr. Mitchell words are still apropos for the cultural and societal conditions of our day.

Speaking from Colossians 3 verses 18 thru 21, these verses deal with family and business relationships.

For family, these verses cover

the wife's relationship to her husband,

the husband's relationship to his wife,

the children's relationship to their parents,

and the father's relationship to his children.

In business, the word of God speaks to the relationship of the slave to his master and the master's relationship to his slave and the both of them in relationship to the Lord who is master of both.

Here is Dr. Mitchell, Col.3:18 on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.
